All wrong, best way to look after it is binning it haha
I took the covers off mine..... flipped the fans to blow down...added thermal past to the bottom of the heatsink support plate where it touches the bottom case plate.....plucked off the rubber feet from the bottem and put them on the top.....Then set them upside down......
There is a lot of heat from the bottom of the board....running them upside down let me set an old CPU heatsink on it .....helps remove some more heat...

if its running over 65 degrees celsius, then replace the thermal paste. if still too hot, then change over the fan.
otherwise, you shouldn't have to do anything.
might be worth turning off in a month...it will cost more to run than what it makes!

Maybe change the thermal paste just-in-case? Cooler is better?
I hope you pay nothing for it

Hi,
I purchased a Jalapeno recently.
I want to take 'good' care of the Jalapeno, I don't want any heating issues.
Should I put better thermal paste on the chips?
Should I change the fan? I am reading some things about turning the fan?
Thank you.
